Associate Director of Product Management, Best In Class Product Solutions Employer is looking for a senior product leader who is passionate about creating amazing consumer products at scale and building high-performing teams from the ground up. Reporting to the Director of Best in Class experiences, you will share responsibility for one of Employer's most important strategic priorities: to ensure a best-in-class shopping experience for millions of products across hundreds of product categories, for all of our brands and geographies. Specifically, the Best In Class Product Solutions team will build experiences across the funnel that help our customers confidently identify and fully address their needs. This includes managing the strategy and execution of:

Product guidance - Employer has a large and complex catalog, and our customers' needs are also complex. How do you help customers identify and solve their needs quickly and confidently within this context?

Live help - A human touch is sometimes required, especially for customers who aren't yet familiar with our catalog. When and how should you connect our customers to our B2C sales team, and how do we use those touch points to constantly improve our automated platform?

Vertical solutions - Our category managers have ambitious plans to grow their respective businesses. How can you create customized digital aisles to maximize their impact?

This role offers the opportunity to transform the way millions of consumers around the world create homes they love, have a major impact at a rapidly growing $10B public company, partner with senior executives across the company on a high-profile initiative, and build a cross-functional team of experienced product managers, software engineers, product designers, analysts and data scientists.

Responsibilities:

Establish vision, strategy and product roadmap for a group of product development teams, including product guidance, live help, and vertical solutions, across our entire retail brand and geographic footprint.

Partner closely with senior leaders in Site Merchandising, Category Management, Data Science, and other product development teams to ensure tight alignment on strategy, prioritization, communication and execution.

Build a product team from the ground up. You'll inherit a team of one product manager (and scrum team) and hire more, ensuring the team has a high degree of excellence, psychological safety, and bias to action.

Lead your teams to deliver business impact by launching and iteratively optimizing products that improve our user experience in ways that lead to scalable, measurable gains in metrics that you will largely define.

Qualifications:

7+ years' experience in customer-focused, analytically-rigorous, high-performance settings, with preference for candidates with a mix of start-up and large-company experience. Preference for candidates with experience in e-commerce, though this is not required.

3+ years' experience successfully leading and growing teams that are highly effective both in terms of business impact and team culture.

Superior communication skills with demonstrated ability to navigate a complex organization and generate buy-in for ideas and plans.

Strong cross-functional leadership experience.

Entrepreneurial mindset, with a bias for action and ability to deal with ambiguity and rapidly changing environments.

Bachelor's degree in either a technology, design, or business discipline preferred.
